268 * cerebral embolization during transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared with surgical aortic valve replacement
Conclusions: Surgical AVR is associated with more cerebral emboli than TAVI. Emboli were detected by TCD in all patients during TAVI and AVR. The main source of emboli was termination of bypass (most probably air emboli) and device implantation during AVR and TAVI, respectively.

Left atrial size and function as predictors of new-onset of atrial fibrillation in patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis: The simvastatin and ezetimibe in aortic stenosis study
Abstract: Background: Left atrial (LA) size and function change with chronically increased left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. It remains unclear whether these variations in LA parameters can predict new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in asymptomatic patients with aortic stenosis (AS).Methods: Data were obtained in asymptomatic patients with mild-to-moderate AS (2.5≤ transaortic Doppler velocity ≤4.0m/s), preserved LV ejection fraction (EF), no previous AF, and were enrolled in the Simvastatin and Ezetimibe in Aortic Stenosis study. Peak-aortic velocity, LAmax volume & LAmin volume were measured by echocardiograph...

Single center TAVR experience with a focus on the prevention and management of catastrophic complications
Conclusions: TAVR can be accomplished with excellent safety in a tertiary center with a well‐developed infrastructure for the management of serious complications. The data presented here provide support for TAVR as an important treatment option, and results from randomized trials of patients with lower surgical risk are eagerly awaited. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Transcatheter Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients With Diabetes and Severe Aortic Stenosis at High Risk for Surgery An Analysis of the PARTNER Trial (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valve)
ConclusionsAmong patients with diabetes and severe symptomatic AS at high risk for surgery, this post-hoc stratified analysis of the PARTNER trial suggests there is a survival benefit, no increase in stroke, and less renal failure from treatment with transcatheter AVR compared with surgical AVR. (The PARTNER Trial: Placement of AoRTic TraNscathetER Valve Trial; NCT00530894)

Feasibility and safety of transfemoral implantation of Edwards SAPIEN XT prosthesis without balloon valvuloplasty in severe stenosis of native aortic valve
ConclusionsDirect implantation of Edwards SAPIEN XT without prior BV in selected cases is feasible and safe. The number of patients in whom this technique would be applicable, and their impact on reducing complications has to be determined. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Advanced age and incidence of atrial fibrillation in the postoperative period of aortic valve replacement
Conclusion: Post-operative atrial fibrillation incidence in aortic valve replacement is high and correlates with age in patients aged 70 years and older and significantly more pronounced in patients aged 80 years. There was increased length of stay at Intensive Care Unit and hospital, but there was no increase in mortality or stroke. These data are important for planning prophylaxis and early treatment for this subgroup.

Prevalence and predictors of carotid artery stenosis in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation
Conclusions: The prevalence of CAS in patients undergoing TAVI is high, exceeding that observed in patients undergoing catheterization for coronary indications. The impact of CAS on clinical outcomes following TAVI merits further research. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prognosis importance of low flow in aortic stenosis with preserved LVEF
Conclusions In patients with severe AS and preserved LVEF, LF, as assessed using cardiac catheterisation is frequent, and is an independent predictor of mortality. Consequently, the measurement of SVi should be systematically included in the assessment of these patients.

Aortic Arch Atherosclerosis in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis can be Argued by Greater Day-by-day Blood Pressure Variability
Although it is well known that the prevalence of aortic arch plaques, one of the risk factors for ischemic stroke, is high in patients with severe aortic stenosis, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Increased day-by-day blood pressure (BP) variability is also known to be associated with stroke; however, little is known on the association between day-by-bay BP variability and aortic arch atherosclerosis in patients with aortic stenosis. Our objective was to clarify the association between day-by-day BP variables (average values and variability) and aortic arch atherosclerosis in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

Personalizing Medicine: Considering Preferences and Values
If you're interested in heart disease -- and who over the age of 40 isn't? -- you may have read an excellent series of articles by reporter Gina Kolata recently published in the New York Times. If you haven't seen it, the series includes pieces on blood pressure, stents, heart attack treatment and a new approach to aortic valve replacement. The heart valve article especially caught my eye, as this is a story I've been watching with personal interest: My 90-year-old mother has aortic stenosis for which surgery has been recommended. In fact, surgery was first recommended for my mom at least six years ago. I know that timing ...
